The Russian Foreign Ministry advised the United States to refrain from provocations upon the arrival of Lavrov at the UN General Assembly

“Washington should refrain from provocative actions that could lead to the disruption of the participation of the head of the Russian delegation in the work of the UN General Assembly,” TASS said in a statement.

It is noted that the issues of the flight of a special flight of Russia to the United States should be agreed in the prescribed manner through the channels between the aviation authorities of the two countries.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that bilateral Russian-American relations could be forgotten if the United States declared Russia a "sponsor of terrorism."
